Joseph Fiennes is set to portray England men’s soccer coach Gareth Southgate in a new play at the National Theatre in London
Playwright James Graham has penned the play, titled, and he told the BBC in a new interview that the production will chronicle the “gentle revolution” in the England soccer team since Southgate took charge.
British theatre director Rupert Goold will helm the play, which National Theatre artistic director Rufus Norris described as “a captivating examination into the complex psychology of the much loved beautiful game.” The play finds its name from an open letter written by Southgate to England fans in 2021 and will touch on “ghosts and demons” of recent England soccer history, including the racist abuse suffered by England players who missed penalties at Euro 2020, the BBC reported.
